“We are happy to continue our flights from New Orleans to Frankfurt in the next summer season and being able to offer our customers a smart choice for their transatlantic travels two times a week. Our Condor flights still are the only nonstop service from New Orleans to Germany and the bookings so far clearly showed that Louisianans love our service.

Long waiting times make airports look bad and upset passengers. Even
worse, long queues make airports lose money; people that wait more, spend

The basis to tackle waiting times, move the passengers more smoothly
through the airport and leverage customer satisfaction is an accurate and
reliable system to measure waiting times.

The 3D sensors and software solutions from Switzerland based Xovis have
established as the industry's standard to measure and predict KPIs such as
waiting times, process time and passenger throughput. Today, more than 45
international airports in and outside the USA count on Xovis.

During the webinar, Marc Rauch, Managing Director Xovis USA presents the
